the original question was on software compatability not hardware, but anyway
it took us three trys to find an AT that would work with the 5250 there is an 
a lot of hardware this board doesn't like to work with! and it DOES do direct
screen writes! And just to pop your balloon a little further, a quote from 
intel propaganda sheet "true compatables such as compaq deskpro , AT&T 6300..."
this is a foot note to the Intel Aboveboards reguarding the "true compatables"
supported!
